GOING: F

ROANT TROBIS Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Only a small field but Plague Stone, Moorestown and Bollon will ensure a genuine tempo. BOLLON (1) will be having his third local start after moving from a Victorian stable in January. He had a tough run last start from a wide gate, and with the advantage of the pole position, he is expected to improve sharply. Can win. TWO TIMES TWICE (3) was an upset winner fresh up and then was not far away when fifth here 15 days ago. He has won 2 of his 4 starts third up in the past and can bounce straight back into the money here. WHITTEN (6) has been hard to catch and drops 4kg from his last run. If his mind is on the job, he can figure in the finish. MOORESTOWN (2) was trapped ride last start and failed to run on. He drops in grade, and from a handy draw, he can bounce back into the money. TYQUENDO (7) can't be left out of any combinations in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bollon to win.
